It is started!

The sequel for My Life at the MBRC has been started! I’ve got the first five pages written, woohoo! I have a lot of the book mapped out, but picking a non-spoiler title is proving to be really difficult without making it sound too similar to My Life at the MBRC. Anyway, keep an eye on the “Coming Soon” page. I’ll update it once a week so you get an idea of how the story is progressing.

Also, judging by the comments on my previous post, the sequel to Life Reader is in much higher demand than I anticipated. I’m dedicated to getting Timeless Fairy Tales out as my top priority, but it looks like I’ll be skipping Life Reader up a few notches in terms of importance. It is important to note, however, that Life Reader‘s sequel will be a longer book, so I can  guarantee you won’t be seeing it until 2015. Still, thank you very much for the feedback, Champions!

Alright, I’m about ready to eat my own arm, so I’m off to hunt down some dinner. Until Wednesday!

From the final frontier

Hello, Champions. I apologize for the off-date update, but I highly doubt I’m going to get a chance to update the blog this week. I wanted to reassure you that I am getting your wonderful submissions for The Name Game. (wow, you guys are a creative bunch!) What is keeping me from my blog and other various forms of social media is Cinderella. I want it finished this week. I’m close, really close. So I’m putting my nose to the grindstone with the intention of finishing it ASAP.

I will report in when it is finished. Until then, I will faithfully write. Thank you for the submissions and notes, Champions, and I will see you soon.

Enchanted: Post Production

So I “finished” writing Enchanted last Thursday after a day long marathon writing spree. Enchanted itself is a long way from being published though. It gets a week off so my brain doesn’t implode, and then I start the first round of editing. The ending will need some reworking, but I finally have all the finer parts of formatting down so I won’t be spending buckets of time on that besides getting the cover pages ready. Myrrhlynn has an idea for the cover, but she still needs to find the right reference photos and font, etc.

I’m really happy with Enchanted, and I have to say it was probably the easiest book to write so far in my career as an indie author, even though I did a lot of research to complete it. I’m a little shocked to realize I’m going to miss writing it! It has some great scenes and I really fell in love with the characters.

In other news I’m currently editing My Life at the MBRC. It’s not as bad as I thought it would be, but I have caught a few formatting mistakes which I must apologize for. I should finish editing it by the end of this week, which will be perfect because I’ll swap over to editing Enchanted next. After I do the first read through of Enchanted I’ll put it aside again for a few days/a week and then do a spit-shine editing read through to clean up any rough edges. After that it will be ready for publishing!

That’s it for today, Champions. I’ll have an interesting post to give you on Wednesday, but for now please celebrate with me over the end of Enchanted!
